As David Baron has explained on the bug, this only happens because the
element is empty of in-flow children, since all the children are
absolutely positioned. I'm not exactly sure what you were trying to do
with the 'overflow:auto' but whatever it was, the way you are doing it is
wrong. Mozilla is laying this out correctly as far as I can tell.
